A late-evening argument outside a Baton Rouge convenience store ended in gunfire on February 5, 2024. Jevaughn Oubre, 37, was shot and found deceased in the roadway near the Circle K on Michael Delving Road at about 10:30 p.m. The East Baton Rouge Sheriff’s Office reports Oubre and another man argued after leaving the store; the dispute escalated and the other man allegedly produced a firearm and shot Oubre.

Witnesses identified 32-year-old Traveron Richard as the shooter, and he was arrested in a nearby neighborhood shortly after the shooting and booked into the East Baton Rouge Parish Prison. Richard faces second-degree murder and illegal possession of a firearm by a convicted felon; a grand jury later returned a second-degree murder indictment and added an obstruction of justice charge in connection with Oubre’s death.

If anyone witnessed the shooting or has information about the events outside the store that night, please share what you know.
